Well I made it to the 2nd trimester. During my pregnancy that ended in miscarriage back in January of this year, they determined that based on the measurements that the baby’s heartbeat stopped around 13.5 weeks even though I hadn’t miscarried yet at my 16 week appointment. So this pregnancy has officially made it further than the longest lasting one.

I rented a fetal heart doppler from storkradio.com, so I can listen to the baby’s heartbeat on a daily basis. That way I won’t be surprised if I get to my weekly ultrasound appointment and they can’t find a heartbeat. At the 14 week appointment Baby “Wiggles'” heartbeat was 166 bpm and I’m able to count just around 160 bpm myself at home on a daily basis.

These 3D images always look kind of weird to me. Although in the non-3D images above the baby still looks weird because you’re seeing the top of the head as Baby “Wiggles'” chin is tucked down to the neck, so you’re seeing the two halves of the brain instead of a profile from the side. Everything is looking good baby-wise although my hematoma hasn’t decreased in size at all. I am still working from home and watching the birds come to the window feeder.

this is insane the dumbest thing online ever! how can u see ultarsound images of ur unborn baby thatYOU are carrying and post online and have ppl decide weather you should kill it!!! u ppl r crazy!!!!!!

Please think about your baby. Don’t let a bunch of people who may even be voting for abortion just to see if you’ll do it (disgusting but very true) decide whether your child will live or die. Think about the far reaching consequences of your actions. Even if the polls tilt towards keeping your baby (and I pray that they will) think about how that child would feel when they found out how little regard you had for their life. Don’t count on the kid never finding out because chances are they would someday. I hope this is fake and a publicity stunt of some kind because as a mother it’s difficult to imagine someone doing this seriously. It’s sick.

You people are disgusting. Attention whores doing this just for attention. I really feel sorry for that baby you’re carrying right now. Neither one of you deserves it. If the Gods have their way maybe you’ll have a miscarriage and suffer a staph infection in your uterus and really never be able to conceive again.

Please…. don’t do this. Have your child and be normal, human, imperfect parents. Countless others have done so – even your own existence is due to imperfect parents. Is your life so horrid that you’d wish you were never born? Parenting isn’t as tough as we fear. I remember so well thinking, “What are these people, NUTS? Letting me take this baby home????” The love you will have for your little boy is beyond any love you can imagine. His smiles, his laughs, his cries, his movements, his growth, his LIFE will make up for the loss of freedom and any career delays/distractions.

Having a little boy who needs you does not last forever; but abortion does. Please… don’t do this. Have your baby and see how wonderful you really can be. You’ll surprise even yourself.

What I really don’t understand is why you keep allowing yourself to get pregnant if you aren’t really certain you want a child. Especially given your history of miscarriage. If you don’t want to have a baby, then get fixed. Don’t brutally murder some poor helpless child of yours instead.

I mean, what happens the next time, and the next time… are you just going to run with this idea every time you get pregnant?

If you, God forbid, don’t want this child, there are PLENTY of wonderful parents that cannot have children that would PAY to call him their own. Please, please, please consider this as an option. Don’t kill your sweet baby boy.
